How to perform a firmware upgrade of my Philips player via USB?

Note: * Do not press any buttons or interrupt the household power supply during the upgrading process, or the player may become defective. * Check to ensure that your USB storage device can be detected by the player before trying to upgrade the firmware using this method. * Use a FLASH-based USB storage device (e.g. thumbdrive). The startup time for HDD-based USB storage devices is too slow and cannot be used for firmware upgrades. * Ensure that your USB flash drive has about 25 Mbytes of free space. STEP 1 ? Download and Transfer firmware onto USB drive 1. Download the latest firmware from the Philips support website (www.philips.com/support). If there is no firmware available for download, this means that the model you have has the latest firmware installed. 2. Copy the extracted “UPG” folder with the software files to the root directory of the USB flash drive. Note: the ZIP file will not be readable on the set STEP 2 - Upgrading the firmware 1.
